Then without saying a word, Shekai immediately turned around and he left the place with Catherine and Derris. They left filled with resentment and disappointment towards Jefirros who had so easily found their replacement. Supposedly with the great power that is now owned by Jefirros, the process of rescuing the Sword of freedom members from the hands of the government can be done easily, but Jefirros prefers to gather demonic troops and does not care about his former members.
Therefore, while walking down the sewer, Catherine asked Shekai.
"Now, what should we do, Shekai?"
"Hmm, we will continue to go according to our original plan... We will save our comrades, and form a new Sword of Freedom group, with the new goal to destroy the Wind Faction group."
"Yes, I agree!" Said Catherine.
Meanwhile Derris was silent, so Shekai immediately asked him. "Derris, are you disappointed because you couldn't join them?"
"...Eummm, no, of course not. I'm glad I didn't have to get involved with those terrible people... After all we're committed to saving our friends from the grip of the GRIM Taskforce. So let's do it." Derris replied.
"Alright then.." Shekai said as he continued to walk while looking ahead.

Long story short, turn to another place, or rather at Billy's gym place. There was no one there except Max who was eating snacks, but a few moments later, Alex and Ryuji also came to that place. So the two of them immediately approached Max and then eat snacks together, then Alex asked.
"Where is Billy and Sis Miran?"
"Billy is upstairs, while Master Miran is currently shopping for groceries."
"Ouh ... By the way, Max, can I ask you something?" Ask Alex.
"Of course, what question?"
"Why do you always call Sis Miran as a Master?"
"The reason is simple, because he is my teacher." Max replied.
"Yes, but do you have a special relationship? Like family for example?"
"No, we have no family relationship at all."
"If so I want to know, what can make you two become very close?"
"Hmm." Max paused for a moment.
"It's okay Max, tell it to Alex." Ryuji said.
"Hmm, fine." Max starts telling stories.
"You could say, I've saved the live of Master Miran once."
"Hah?"
"The story was very a long time ago ... At that time I was a motorcycle gang member who was quite popular. Every week, there was always a bunch of motorcycle gangs from the entire city, and I always came to the event to participate in wild racing activities."
"Wow."
"But among the racers, there is a mysterious racer who always comes alone, she does not join in any group, and she always comes only to win then bring home the money prize ... Can you guess who is that?"
"Sis Miran?"
"Right."
"Waahh."
Then Ryuji said, "Billy once said that it was the dark times of Miran, when she had just lost the leader figure of Shinfu Lyoto also he was also betrayed by Shekai."
"Ouhh."
Max said, "I'll continue my story ... At that time I was still doesn't know that myself was a shield race, but I could feel a kind of aura from other's people body, and i can feel it strongly from Master Miran too, then because of her racing style that was haphazard and as if she's not afraid of death, so I considered her as a special racer ... Some time later, I tried to talk to her several times, but she always ignored me ... until finally there was a tragedy. "
"What's that?"
"One day, when we were racing, we were both involved in fierce competition when driving at high speed. Then suddenly the Master Miran motorbike was shaking and then she was thrown out of the road divider to the bottom of the cliff."
"What?"
"But surprisingly I could use the shield power to save her so she didn't fall into a ravine."
"Wahh, that's great."
"But, instead of thanking, she was even furious at me."
"Why?"
"Because so far, the real purpose she followed the race was not for money, but because she wanted to die in an motorcycle accident."
"Hah??"
"She said that she had no purpose in life, and all she wanted now was to escape from this world... But I also said that I was the same as her. Because I also have no purpose in life, and I don't even know what to do with the power of this newly acquired shield stuff."
"Hmm."
